In school, you learn about blood vessels and veins, and the
intricate anatomy of the heart. But how is it that so many people
continue to live, even after their hearts are repeatedly broken? It
turns out, that pumping organ in our chests isn't as fragile as it
may seem-in fact, much of the first-hand experience required
getting back on track and finding your way to a healthy
relationship can be found in examining and evaluating your past
relationships, as full of heartbreak as they may be. There is a
certain wisdom that can be found in those who have faced a lifetime
of trials and tribulations, one that no amount of studying or any
college degree can replace. This is the theory behind Half of a Man
and a Piece of Me, a candid work in which author Holly
Smith-Lindsey shares her personal reflections about past
relationships, and what she has learned in the process of becoming
who she is today. Part autobiography and part self-help guide, the
author shares her valuable insights based on years of good, bad,
and ugly experiences in romantic partnerships and the world of
dating. From life as a teenage mom, to years of casual
relationships, to on-again-off-again and abusive situations, many
readers will find that they can identify personally with the
subjects addressed in this highly personal work. In addition to
Smith-Lindsey's own stories, you will also read the first-hand
accounts of several other women, each sharing the wisdom they have
gained from their unique relationships and situations. Full of
hilarious, thought-provoking, and deeply emotional situations, the
author herself recommends slowing down to savor and digest every
word of this unique relationship guide. As opposed to the many
general relationship self-help books on the shelf today, this
testimonial-style guide stands out because of its deeply personal
subject matter. Rather than a PhD or formal education in
psychology, Holly Smith-Lindsey simply offers her own life
experiences, as well as the shared experiences of her friends. The
result is a raw, honest look at the true-life issues many
individuals face in their romantic partnerships today, reported
first-hand by the people who have experienced them. Through the
metaphors of a "half" and a "piece," this memorable book maps out
the process of growth, change, and regrets, which may lead to two
people finally reaching a happy union. For a book that addresses
such serious subject matter, readers will also find much of the
content uplifting and inspiring. The author takes a decidedly
positive view on relationships, even the ones that have broken her
heart in the past. Rather than playing mind games or seeking
revenge, she is a big believer in thinking before reacting, and has
plenty of positive pieces of advice to share. She advocates
learning from past experiences, but without the toxic practice of
dwelling on those people and events that have caused emotional
pain. Overall, readers will be informed, entertained, and inspired
by this unique take on an autobiographical self-help book. Those
who are just starting out in the dating world will have just as
much to take from this reflective piece as those who have been
married for fifty years, or those who have experienced a string of
toxic relationships. Regardless of what category you fall into,
there's something for everyone in Holly Smith-Lindsey's
thoughtfully-crafted, heartfelt work.
